BONDA "WEDDING" NECKLACE
Traditionally, the Bonda women of Orissa India were scantily clad, based on current norms, but were adorned with layers and layers of beads along with multiple metal torques. These necklaces with the bronze spirals would have been part of a young woman’s dowry. These look super cool on~ looped and layered. These old bronze spirals are almost. impossible to find. Newer examples abound, but take a look at the lovely smooth wear on these!
Two joined 68″strands of small 2.5 mm beads interspersed with 16 mm bronze 67 grams total
I usually ship via USPS (United US Postal Service). Most parcels go into a small flat-rate box, which is $9 US domestically and $24 internationally. Those prices are averages, and the cost may be higher or lower depending on the item purchased. Send me a message if you would like specifics. Thanks!
